Destrudo
06-09-08, 06:07 PM
So, this thread has two purposes.
One, I need help. I've done some serious thinking, and discovered why my scores are always low. I always assume everyone knows everything I do, and therefore don't relate everything I should in my posts. Why, with such little information, it's no wonder I get low scores, I really have no one to blame but myself.
So to that end, I'm seeking help from three to four people, to help me with this problem, and I figure I can best improve if I go where I'm most comfortable, home. However, you must not be afraid of the dark, which leads me to my second purpose, help for Destrudo when he goes home.

Noctum, just approaching the country from the ocean one can see the continent it is on is one laden heavily with enchantments and magic beyond the grasp of most mortals, for Night and Day are visibly seen contesting for dominance. No one seems sure why, but one can tell, it took The Gods to create such enchantments as are here. When one exits the cavern through the great rock barrier seperating the inside from the outside, one is immediatly presented with two paths, one leading off to a glorious castle in the peak of the Day, and one leading to a frightening nightmare of a castle abandoned in the depths of the night. Stepping onto either path removes the other from sight.
Such is Destrudo's homeland, history records it was once one land, a land that divided into two in a civil war. The powers used were so great, the gods had to stop them from completely sundering the world into everlasting night and day, for on one side this strange land, Day never ends, and on the other, Night is everlasting.
We journey into The Night, into Noctum, where the nightmares lie in wait.
In this land, in the Dark castle in the distance, just past the village lives Destrudo's Father, a powerful entity known as Shadowlord.
Shadowlord is Fear itself. Possessing no true form, Shadowlord becomes what you imagine him to be, what you fear most. It's an easy thing to find out, because Shadowlord knows you better than you know yourself, such is his power. Using his ability to change reality and cast the most powerful of illusions, It's only a matter of time before he drives someone insane.
Shadowlord keeps deep within his castle the secrets of who Destrudo is, and what he is. If your not afraid of the dark, then perhaps you can come along too.
You stand to gain just as much from this as I do, for when faced with yourself, you cannot help but grow stronger.
This Quest comes in three parts:
The first part is the journey to Noctum and the experiences we have in his castle.
Part two is where we have escaped the castle with what we came for and find ourselves in Diem, the land of Day.
In Diem, those who come from Night are seen as fiends who despise peace, and the son of Shadowlord is a great prize indeed. In this thread we find you can't leave without Destrudo, he's the only one who knows his way around this strange land, and sometimes light holds secrets darkness couldn't even dream of. So after rescuing Destrudo, you escape back into Night, back into Noctum.
Part Three is the escape from the continent of Chronus. The boat's gone, stranded, possibility seems bleak. However in the village of Night, there exists a most gruesome temple where Dark and Evil entities are worshipped. Perhaps they will expend their powers, or command their followers to help you, but everyone, and everything has their price...
So, any questions, feel free to ask. I'd be happy to answer them. Shadowlord will be an NPC we can all use in the first thread which is actually kinda neccessary, all things considered, I'll even write up a little profile for him at the start of the thread.
